Slovenia vs Latvia Prediction & Betting tips
Slovenia welcome on the penultimate round in Group G Latvia. Anything but a home win would be a big surprise. The kickers from the Baltic States play a catastrophic qualification. After eight rounds of play still could not be gotten a single counter.
Instead, 27 goals have been conceded – only San Marino surpasses this pitiful value among all other nations. Sad from the point of view of the Latvians is also the own storm: This was allowed to start so far only once to a own Torjubel, since the second hit came about only by an own goal.
The starting point at the meeting is therefore clear and the Slovenia against Latvia odds are not surprisingly much in favor of the hosts. However, the Slovenes have also lost their own qualification chances more or less completely with two recent defeats against Northern Macedonia and Austria.
They are already five points behind the second place. Nevertheless, mathematically at least the fulfillment of the dream of the second participation in a final round after 2000 is still possible.
For that reason, Slovenia will be very motivated – especially given the fact that on the following final day of the match a tough away match in Poland is scheduled for the league leaders. The Slovenia against Latvia tip includes at least three hits from the favorites as well as a goal by Andraz Sporar.
As in the previous year, the Slovenian striker is in great shape and is currently leading the scoring in the domestic Fortuna Liga. The Slovenia vs Latvia forecast goes hand in hand with three units.
Slovenia:
A victory in the coming match would be at least a small reparation after the recent 0: 1 defeat against Austria. The match against its own backdrop was only slightly lost, but undeserved in view of the game shares not.
While it has twice been enough for participation in a World Cup (2002, 2010), Slovenia presents itself in the recent EM qualifications weaker. Only once in the association’s history was the ticket for a continental finals resolved.
The success is now already 19 years back. The team is actually peppered with various interesting players, which is why the next missed the European Championship 2020 would be disappointing from the perspective of the Slovenes. An example of the high quality available in the squad is offensive midfielder Josip Ilicic.
The 31-year-old kicks off at Atalanta Bergamo and thus this season even in the Champions League. In the last two seasons of Serie A Ilicic always reached a double-digit goal, which he has long since ascended to the regulars in the Lombards. In addition, Slovenia has another top player, Andraz Sporar.
The attacker of domestic champion Slovan Bratislava is extremely dangerous. Last year, Sporar took the crown of the top scorer in the Fortuna League. Currently, the striker leads the ranking again. The fact that Sporar is equally successful internationally can be seen in its regular matches in the Europa League for Bratislava.
In the match against Latvia, however, Denis Popovich must fit in midfield. The 30-year-old veteran was in the last home game against Austria shortly before the end of the game to assassinate with a subsequent red card.
Latvia:
The previous performances of Latvia were real tragedies. The team lost all eight previous group matches. With this horror balance of course the last place in the table is taken. Blamabel is among other things the attack.
This accomplished only on the last matchday in 1: 3 in Israel his first goal. Previously, only one goal had landed on the credit side of the Latvians, as North Macedonia had produced an own goal at the start of the group stage at home 3-1 success.
In the harmless offensive, the holey defensive seamlessly joins in terms of weakness. They have received on average more than three goals per game. In view of the construction sites in Latvia, it is not surprising that the last victory in an international match in June of last year against Estonia at the Baltic Cup succeeded.
Since then eleven bankruptcies and five draws have been collected. The nickname of the “11 viki”, ie the “11 wolves”, at least the current team coached by Slavisa Stojanovic not rightly. Instead, Latvia will miss the European Championship qualification for the fourth time in a row.
The change of coach last March, when Slovenia’s Stojanovic took over the office of Mixu Paatelainen from Finland, has not brought any playful upswing. In view of the described problems with the guests, the odds for a home victory without conceding in Slovenia against Latvia are worth considering.
